Fish kairomones alter life cycle and growth of a calanoid copepod
(Oxford University Press, 2010-02)
In this study, we evaluate the effects of chemical information present in exudates of the zooplanktivorous fish Cnesterodon decemmaculatus (Poeciliidae) on the life cycle and growth of the planktonic copepod Notodiaptomus ...
Effects of predator odour on antipredator responses of Nile tilapia
(2016-10-15)
Several fish species exhibit antipredator responses when exposed to chemicals which indicate risk of predation. One such substance is the scent of a predator (a kairomone) that may induce defensive responses in a potential ...
Are light traps baited with kairomones effective in the capture of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lutzomyia intermedia? An evaluation of synthetic human odor as an attractant for phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2008-06-01)
Phlebotomine sand flies are often captured with human bait and/or light traps, either with or without an animal bait. More recently, synthetic attractants have been used as bait in traps to improve the capture of phlebotomine ...

Experimental assessment of interaction costs of inducible defenses in plankton
(2011)
The expression of phenotypically plastic traits in prey organisms, triggered by changes in the abundance of their predators, is customarily assumed to involve costs in some fitness components such as fecundity, growth or ...
Non-lethal effects of invertebrate predators on Daphnia: morphological and life-history consequences of water mite kairomone
(BLACKWELL, 2008-09)
1. Here, we report morphological and life-historical changes in the cladoceran Daphnia ambigua in response to chemical cues released by the predatory water mite Piona chilensis. Both species are common inhabitants of ...
